3-Day Grand Canyon, Antelope, Bryce & Zion Tour from Las Vegas — National Parks Road Trip
Three days, four national parks, and a handful of sunrise moments that change how you see the American West. This guided road trip from Las Vegas moves efficiently between Grand Canyon, Antelope, Bryce and Zion while balancing interpretive stops, comfortable hotels, and practical logistics.
The Experience
Before You Go
Start early to beat crowds
Most park highlights are best experienced at first light; early departures mean softer light for photos and fewer people at viewpoints.
Layer for variable temperatures
Desert mornings are cool, but midday can be hot and canyon bottoms stay cooler — pack a light insulating layer.
Hydrate on the go
Carry at least 1–2 liters in a daypack and refill whenever you can—hydration prevents fatigue on walks and during long drives.
Respect Navajo-led sites
Lower Antelope Canyon is on Navajo land; follow guide instructions, avoid touching rock surfaces, and purchase tribal crafts directly when possible.

Conservation Note
Park fees and the tour’s partnership with One Tree Planted support habitat restoration; follow Leave No Trace principles and stick to designated paths to limit impact.
These landscapes have been occupied and traveled by Indigenous peoples for millennia; later, Route 66 and early park development shaped modern access and tourism.
